The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is the chance for you to meet more than 1,000 stars from the adult industry. With entertainment, autograph sessions and more, it's the only place to see your favorite performers and get up close and personal with them.

The young tradition of the annual AVN Awards Nomination Party hit its five-year milestone Thursday night at the Avalon Hollywood nightclub.

Adult industry perfomers, directors and power players came out in droves to be the first to learn who and what have been nominated for the 2019 AVN Awards, taking place Saturday, January 26 at The Joint inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Presented by MyFreeCams, the show will be co-hosted by Romi Rain and Bailey Rayne, with comedian Esther Ku—who was announced at Thursday night's party and helped call out some of the nominees, including those in ever-popular category Clever Title of the Year—serving as mistress of ceremonies.

Also revealed at the event were the official 2019 AVN Awards Trophy Girls, hotly buzzed-about up-and-comers Athena Faris and Gianna Dior. ​Though not announced among the top categories unveiled on stage Thursday night, one big evolution to the always-morphing AVN Awards category list this year was the addition of a whole new arena of competitive fields reflecting the explosion in the adult video realm of self-contained, elaborately produced featurettes. Specifically, AVN introduced the categories of Best Actor - Featurette, Best Actress - Featurette and Best Featurette.

Those two events set the stage for the 36th annual AVN Awards Show, which will be Saturday, January 26, 2019, inside The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. “We are excited to be back at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to present what will be the largest expo and awards shows we have done,” says Tony Rio, CEO of the AVN Network. “This is the 21stanniversary of AEE, and we cannot wait to open the doors in January for what will be an incredible experience in Las Vegas.” ​The 2019 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) is expected to be bigger and better than ever. Last year’s event boasted more than 1,000 adult stars, 350 exhibitors showcasing their products and services, 15 unique parties, numerous networking events for industry professionals to have quality face time together, and a plethora of educational programs and seminars designed to educate those getting into the industry what it takes to grow and succeed.

Kayden and Manuel will be on the AEE showroom floor every day signing and taking photos with fans at the Manuel TV booth, sponsored by Spankchain and TRENCHCOATx. Exclusive giveaways will be sponsored by Polaroid. Guests to appear at the booth include Giselle Palmer, Abella Danger, Aria Faye, Holly Hendrix, Lena Paul, and more to be announced.

Fans can also enter to win Polaroid cameras and take home special promotional prizes during the show.

Kayden will be signing as well as live streaming the AEE festivities 24/7 throughout the four-day event. “Last year’s booth was such a success we decided to do it even bigger this year. We had over 10 million impressions and Polaroid was trending on Twitter during the expo. We expect an even bigger response this year, and we are excited to do this from the AVN expo, again.”

The dark-haired, green-eyed industry sensation - who’s been nominated for a 2018 AVN Award for Best New Starlet - has appeared in over 60 scenes since her September ’16 debut for studios such as Girlsway, Tushy, Naughty America, Reality Kings, Mofos, Evil Angel, Zero Tolerance, New Sensations, Pure Taboo, HardX and others.

“AVN has been so good to me since I started in this industry not so long ago,” said Wright, “and the AVN show is an excellent place to meet the fans as well as conduct business for career future opportunities. I’m so happy to be a part of it!”
